Sadly they never did anything.  THe official Doc people at Cygnus did
not use DocBook, and the eCos project which did use DocBook limped
along with poor FM+SGML support used by their official doc guy, and
the engineers writing DocBook markup directly.

So it's kind of funny that Cygnus pioneered using DocBook for free
software, but did not use it across the board and is now probably the
least hip part of Red Hat in that sense.
